If you liked the O.J. trial, you will love the circus the officially sanctified railroading of Officer Darren Wilson is already turning into. Lawyers for Michael Brown’s relatives brought in expert Shawn Parcells, evidently to produce forensic evidence in support of highly dubious claims that Brown had his hands in the air when he was shot. Well actually, Parcells is not an expert…
A Kansas City man is now front and center in the controversial shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. Shawn Parcells owns a company that provides autopsy services, and some in the forensic community are taking issue with his involvement in this or any other case.
Parcells owns National Forensic Autopsy and Recovery Services. He says lawyers for the family of Michael Brown contacted him because of his expertise in gunshot wounds.
“I am a forensic pathologist assistant and medical investigator,” Parcells told FOX 4’s Shannon O’Brien.
However, that’s something of a dubious title according to forensic pathologist Dr. Erik Mitchell.
“That is a degree that does not exist in my knowledge, except in the mind of Shawn Parcells,” Dr. Mitchell said.
…but he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
